The current guy I am dating said something similar, but then went on to clarify that the security level of his job prevents him from from having his personal cell phone with him during work. So there could be a legit reason, but if so it should have been stated. Agreed, bad delivery.

He said it twice???
I think I would have laughed at him. Or, knowing me and my nosy brain, would have said, "Why did you say that twice…what kinda woman have you been dealing with??"
If he texts, what are you going to say?

I don't know what I'll do if he texts me. I'll have to think about that one.

I'd text back--"please don't text me all the time."
Yeah I know. Crickets. But it's tempting.

And....
He called me last night. I didn't hear my phone when he called, and didn't see it until later in the evening. I didn't call him back, because I know that he wouldn't want to be bothered or anything like that.

Yeah, no good reason for that. Like Ama said, if he made this about him and not liking to text that would be one thing, but you haven’t even met yet and he is already saying you need his permission to communicate. Controller, baggage, egotistical, selfish, some combination.
I’d ignore him unless by some stroke it did just come out horribly wrong, and he knows it and apologizes profusely.

Annnnd.....he called me again tonight. We have a mutual friend. I'm very close with her, so I'm sure that she told him nice things about me.
He apparently had a " come to Jesus" moment, because he said that he would call me on Thursday, because he really wants to meet me.
Ugh. He had such potential until that statement during the first call.

That is because you are nice. 
So…playing devil's advocate….what is the harm is just giving him a second chance? I agree, his delivery sucked. But, I know I delivered a few lines I shouldn't have in the beginning.

We`re supposed to be on our best behavior during the initial stages. If this is his best behavior what is his worst like . my question mark is broken it types this instead:
Arrogant guy: Ìt`s ok to contact me just don`t contact me a bunch.
Worldly sophisticated, WM: It`s not ok to contact me, not even once.
NEXT!

I love how he's now contacted you twice in a row, despite telling you not to contact him so frequently.

Oh! How dare she ignore me!!
Smells a little narc-y but I could be wrong. Maybe play along for awhile, go completely dark and just see what happens.
But I'm just evil that way.
